(1. 296-47) This invention relates to a threaded needle package, and more specifically, to a package containing one or more pro-threaded sewing needles.
A principal object of the present invention is to provide a package for one or more pre-threaded needles which is formed so that such needles may be sequentially removed without tangling the threads connected thereto. Another object is to provide a holder for threaded needles which supports the needles and t reads therefor in secure and compact condition ready for detachment whenever their use is desired. A further object is to provide a simple and inexpensive threaded needle package which is adapted to maintain its integrity despite the handling and rough treatment normally incident to the merchandizing, shipping and storing of such a product.

FIGURE ll FIGURE 10.
In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG- URES 1 through 4, the numeral 19 generally designates a package comprising a holder 11 and a plurality of threaded needles 12. The needles are conventional sewing needles which are pointed at one end and provided with eyes at the other. Threads 13 pass through the eyes, each needle being connected to a loop or double stretch of thread. While the total length of thread for each needle may vary in accordance with the intended use, in most cases, it will be at least three feet in total length. Since each thread is looped, its effective length is reduced by one half; in the case of a three foot strand, the thread will have an effective length of one and one-half feet. If desired, the free ends of the two strands may be knotted together although such knotting is not necessary in the structure and operation of the package.
The holder it comprises a mounting sheet 14 and a cover E5. The cover is folded along parallel fold lines 16 and 17 to form front cover portions 13 and 19 and rear cover portion or backing 2%. In the illustration given, the front and rear cover portions 18 and 2d are rectangular in shape and are of approximately the same size as the rectangular mounting sheet 14. Front cover portion 19 is provided with a pointed locking tab portion 21 adapted to be inserted into the slit 22 of cover portion is a rear plan view of the package of ddddgid? 18 when the two cover portions are folded over the mounting sheet as shown in FIGURE 1.
Both the cover and the mounting sheet 14 are preferably formed from paperboard or cardboard, although other materials may be used. The primary requirement is that these parts, and particularly the mounting sheet, be formed of a material which is flexible as well as tough and durable. Thus, it is believed apparent that sheet materials of polyethylene, polypropylene, cellulose acetate and the like may also be advantageously used for the holder of this needle package.
The mounting sheet 14 is connected to the backing or rear cover portion 28 by a non-circular rivet 23, the rivet being spaced inwardly from the peripheral edges of the mounting sheet as illustrated most clearly in FIG- URES 2 and 3. While an oval rivet is shown, any suitable connecting means may be used as long as it provides a secure and generally centrally located interconnection which will resist relative rotation of the backing and mounting sheets and will also resist relative rotation of the coil of thread carried thereby.
Referring to FIGURE 3, it will be seen that the mounting sheet 14 is provided with a series of jagged openings or slits 24- and that the portions 24a of each slit are oriented at approximately right angles to each other to define a series of tabs 25 arranged in alternating apposition. The staggered tabs 25 extend over the intermediate portion of each needle 12 so that, when viewed from above, only the end portions of each needle are disposed on the upper face of the mounting sheet. As will be observed, the longitudinal extent of each jagged slit 24 is less than the length of the needle 12 retained by t.e series of tabs formed by that slit.
The thread 13 connected to each needle 12 extends about the upper edge of the card and is coiled about the rivet 23 between the under-surface of the mounting sheet and the upper face of the backing 29. These surfaces are held in close proximity by the rivet and, as a result, the coiled thread is frictionally restrained against uncoiling. If desired, the upper edge of the mounting sheet may be notched as indicated at 26 so that the portion of each thread adjacent the eyelet of the needle to which it is attached will be protected by the mounting sheet.
In the illustration given, the package contains a plurality of needles 12, each needle being held in place by its own series of staggered tabs 25. The large coil of thread 27 disposed behind the mounting sheet is composed of the coiled ends of all of the threads 13 attached to the group of needles. In the use of the package, it is desirable to uncoil the threads in reverse order, the thread forming the outermost portion of the coil being unwound first. To facilitate such removal, I prefer to imprint the face of the mounting sheet with suitable indicia 28. indicating the order of removal of the threaded needles.
In the use of the package, a user simply spreads the front cover portions 18 and 19 to expose the needles retained by the mounting sheet and lifts the needle in the foremost position away from the face of the mounting sheet. It should be emphasized that the needle is lifted laterally off of the sheet rather than slid outwardly therefrom; such sliding movement is prevented by the relatively taut portions of the threads 13 which extend along the backside of the mounting sheet between the eyes of the,
needles and coil 27. Thus, a threaded needle may be most easily detached from the holder by lifting the exposed pointed end thereof away from the mounting sheet until tabs 25 bend upwardly to release the body of the needle. Thereafter, the user, holding the detached needle in one hand and the package in the other, unwinds the thread of the free needle from the coil.
An important aspect of the present invention lies in the recognition that a compact and effective threaded In the modified construction of FIGURES 6 through 9 the holder 11'- is formed from a single sheet of flexible material folded along line 29 to define a cover 15. and an integral mounting sheet 14. The mounting sheet is provided with a jagged slit 24' defining tabs 25 which extend over the intermediate portion of needle 12', leaving only the opposite end portions or" that needle exposed above the mounting sheet 14'. The thread 13, which is attached to the needle as described in connection with the embodiment of FIGURES 1-5, is Wound about the needle to form a coil 27' upon the upper face of the mounting sheet. As shown in FIGURES 7 and 8, the coils of thread ex' tend beneath the opposite ends of the needle and are thereby anchored in place against the upper surface of the mounting sheet. a p
If desired, the cover 15 may be provided'with a fastening tab portion 30 adapted to be received within a slit 31 in the mounting sheet for the purpose of holding the cover in the closed position illustrated in FIGURE 61 As in the first embodiment, detachment of the threaded needle 12 is achieved simply by lifting it laterally or transversely away from the mounting sheet. Upon removal of the needle, the coil of thread is also released for removal from the sheet 14' and may be readily uncoiled to prepare the needle for use.
'The embodiment of FIGURES 10 and 11 is similar to the embodiment of FIGURES 6 through 9 except that only a single tab 25" is provided for holding the needle 12" in place. The tab is defined by a slit 24" of arcuate shape, the length of the slit being substantially less than the total length of the needle.
By monntingthe needles for lateral detachmined series arrangement against the surface of To assist in holding the coil of thread 27" in place, the
mounting sheet 14" is slit to form integral lugs or books 32 spaced from the arcuate slit on opposite sides thereof. As shown in the drawings, the coil of thread passes b neath the pointed lugs and also passes beneath the exposed opposite ends of needle 12" and, therefore, the coil is held in place at four points upon the upper face of the mounting sheet.
As in the preceding'embodiments, detachment of needle 12 is achieved by simply lifting it, rather than sliding it, away from the mounting sheet. The thread 13" may then be quickly removed from the mounting'sheet either by unwinding it while the coil remains on the sheet or by lifting the coil 27 away from the sheet and there,-
